Challenge - Anything But a Card

Tutorial - Wedding Stationary Tips & Ideas by Carol

DT Tips

Purse Size: approx. 6.5" x 7" (tall)

I decided to share a gift bag in the shape of a purse. I found the template HERE, but I see that the post is no longer there so I'll have the template I saved from there at the bottom of this post...I just wanted to give credit to the original creator.

Sponsor's

For a chance at the following prizes, be sure to link your creation to the Anything But a Card at Top Tip Tuesday,
you can enter up to 3 times!! For a chance at an extra prize leave a
tip on your blog and be sure to leave 'tip' after your name in Mr.
Linky. Don't forget the challenge runs for 2 weeks.

Right click on the template and save. Open a Word document and change the Margins so that they are at zero...be sure to do this BEFORE inserting template. Insert Photo and the template should take up the full 11". Print the template twice, cut out both (cutting off the black lines), attach the 2 pieces together along the center line (fussy I know, but then you end up with a nice size gift bag.) Transfer the score lines to your purse, but DON'T score your template...they're there for reference. Your template is ready to use.

Buckles:
1" x 1.25" (4)--I cut 2 slits with my X-acto knife, one near the top
and one near the bottom, so that I can slide the handle through.

About Me

Hello and welcome here!! Thanks so much for visiting my Blog. I love to craft and making cards is one of the ways I spend my spare time. I am so thankful to the Lord for blessing me with such a creative talent. I love how I am able to bless others with my cards and how they in turn are able to pass on the blessing. A huge thank-you to my hubby for being so supportive of my hobby and to our 3 kids who hear at least once a week when they talk to me while I'm busy at my computer, "Just hold on until I'm done typing this post." And finally a huge thank-you to all those who share their cards, techniques, tutorials, and templates I am continually learning new things and this Blog wouldn't be possible without your willingness to share.
